You can get the strum here. It sounds like "Angelina".
Good calypso strum lesson here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D49goLVPAVs
Original song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5wxNUpmMF0 (yes, the steel drum is a bit out of tune at the start!)
Harry Belafonte - Angelina
(capo 1st fret)
Intro - D – G – A – D = 4x's
(chorus)
D G A D
Angelina, Angelina, please bring down your concertina
G A A7 D
And play a welcome for me 'cause I'll be coming home from sea
(verse 1)
D G D
Yes it's so long since I've been home
D G A
Seems like there's no place to roam
D G D
Well I've sailed around the Horn
G
I've been from San Jose up to Baffin Bay
D A D
And I've rode out many a storm
(chorus)
(verse 2)
Well I've heard the bawdy tunes
I've been in honkytonk saloons
I took my liquor by the vat
Well I stayed on call for a rousing brawl
Home was where I hung my hat
(chorus)
(verse 3)
Now I've courted many a girl
I've been in ports all around the world
But my rambling days are done
I've been from Curacao up to Tokyo
And I've found there's only one
